[Immediate guitar hook]

Right name
Wrong address.

[Verse 1]

Your letter came in April,
six years late and rain-softened.
My name was still the way you wrote it
when you thought that I was yours.

You said,
“I finally understand.
I should have called.
I should have stayed.”

I read it by an open window.
Funny how the words
had lost their weight.

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to wait behind that door
with every light on in the hall.

Now the walls belong to someone else
I don’t live there at all.

[Chorus]
RIGHT NAME,
WRONG ADDRESS.

YOU’RE KNOCKING ON A MEMORY
I LEFT.

SEND YOUR LOVE.
SEND YOUR REGRET.

BUT I DON’T LIVE
IN THAT HEART
ANYMORE.

RIGHT NAME,
WRONG ADDRESS.

YOU’RE SIX YEARS LATE
I’M ONE LIFE AHEAD.

YOU FOUND THE GIRL
YOU COULDN’T FORGET

BUT SHE DOESN’T LIVE HERE.

RIGHT NAME,
WRONG ADDRESS.
[Instrumental hook]

[Verse 2]
I know every word you meant
because I wrote them first
inside my head.

Back when missing you was full-time
and your side stayed empty
in my bed.

Now there’s basil on the windowsill.
Your side became a writing desk.

I don’t hate you.
That’s the miracle.
I just don’t need
what happens next.

[Pre-Chorus]
You were the storm
I called forever.

Now you’re weather
from another town.
I don’t have to burn your letter.
I can simply put it down.

[Chorus]
RIGHT NAME,
WRONG ADDRESS.

YOU’RE KNOCKING ON A MEMORY
I LEFT.

SEND YOUR LOVE.
SEND YOUR REGRET.

BUT I DON’T LIVE
IN THAT HEART
ANYMORE.

RIGHT NAME,
WRONG ADDRESS.

YOU’RE SIX YEARS LATE
I’M ONE LIFE AHEAD.

YOU FOUND THE GIRL
YOU COULDN’T FORGET

BUT SHE DOESN’T LIVE HERE.

RIGHT NAME,
WRONG ADDRESS.
[Bright melodic guitar lead]

[Bridge]
I WON’T SEND IT BACK.
I WON’T MAKE A SCENE.

I’LL FOLD IT WITH THE VERSION
OF THE GIRL
I USED TO BE.

SOME LETTERS ARRIVE
TO CHANGE THE WAY WE LIVE.

SOME ARRIVE TOO LATE

AND TEACH US
WE ALREADY DID.

You weren’t too late
to say it.

Just too late
to change my steps.

[Final Chorus]
RIGHT NAME,
WRONG ADDRESS.

YOU’RE KNOCKING
BUT THERE’S NOTHING LEFT TO FIX.

SEND YOUR LOVE.
I’LL WISH YOU THE BEST.

YOU FINALLY FOUND ME

JUST NOT LIKE THIS.

RIGHT NAME,
WRONG ADDRESS.

I’M NOT HIDING.
I JUST DON’T LIVE THERE.

YOU FOUND THE GIRL
YOU COULDN’T FORGET

SHE GREW UP.

SHE MOVED ON.

SHE’S SOMEWHERE ELSE.

RIGHT NAME
WRONG ADDRESS!

RIGHT NAME
WRONG ADDRESS!
[Final hook]

[Outro]
I turned the envelope over
and wrote beneath your name:

“I hope you’re well.

I am.”
